FAQs
What is hydro-jetting and how does it differ from traditional drain-snaking?
Hydro-jetting is a professional drain-cleaning technique that propels water at pressures of 100–350 bar (1,500–5,000 psi) through a specialized nozzle to scour the full interior diameter of the pipe. Unlike traditional snaking, which merely bores a hole through the clog, hydro-jetting removes grease, soap scale, mineral buildup, and even small tree roots from the pipe walls. The result is a more thorough cleaning that restores the line to near-original capacity and delays future blockages.
When should I consider hydro-jetting for my drains in Athens?
Choose hydro-jetting when you experience recurring clogs, slow drains throughout the building, foul odours, or backups that snaking cannot permanently resolve. It is especially effective in restaurants, cafés, and apartment blocks where grease and debris accumulate quickly. Property owners often schedule hydro-jetting proactively every 12–24 months to keep main sewer lines clear before the busy tourist season or winter rains in Athens.
Is hydro-jetting safe for old or fragile plumbing systems?
Yes—when performed by trained plumbers who adjust the water pressure to pipe material and condition. Before jetting, we camera-inspect the line to locate weaknesses such as cracks, thin walls, or misaligned joints. For clay, cast iron, or aged PVC, we use lower pressure and specialised nozzles to clean effectively without causing damage. If the inspection reveals that hydro-jetting is unsuitable, we will recommend alternative methods.
How much does hydro-jetting cost in Athens and what affects the price?
Prices typically start at €120 for a small residential line and range up to €350–€500 for long commercial or multi-unit building mains. Factors that influence cost include: length and diameter of the pipe, severity of the blockage, ease of access (e.g., rooftop vs. ground clean-out), need for CCTV inspection, time of day (after-hours or Sunday emergency), and whether root removal or grease disposal is required. We provide a fixed quote after a brief on-site assessment.
Will hydro-jetting eliminate recurring clogs and prevent future blockages?
Hydro-jetting removes virtually all interior buildup, giving you the best long-term protection against clogs. By stripping grease films, sludge, and mineral scale, it leaves nothing for new debris to cling to, which dramatically slows re-accumulation. Many clients report years of problem-free service after a single jetting, especially when combined with periodic enzyme treatments and mindful disposal practices (e.g., keeping cooking oil, coffee grounds, and wipes out of drains).
